    Go to the Wireless Print Web Portal
  3. How do you want to print it?
    Select number of copies, page range, black and white or colour and other settings.

  4. Go get your prints!
    Once your file is uploaded, go to any library branch within 24 hours to print the file from a print kiosk. Staff can help you with this process.
    At the end of the day after sbumission, print jobs are automatically deleted from the system.

See below for guides for releasing your print, or learn more with detailed printable guides, tutorials and video walkthroughs at our Digital Library Academy.

Printing through the ePRINTit web portal

You can print from any device at home or elsewhere and have your print jobs sent to a printer at one of our library branches.

Uploading files to the Web Portal is the most flexible way to send printing to the library. You can upload multiple files and adjust printing settings for each file.

Note: Print jobs sent wirelessly should be printed and picked up within 24 hours.

Follow the steps below to send your files to our printers:

  1. Go to the Computers and Printing page on the library website

  2. Click the link for the library wireless printing web portal:

  3. You will be taken to the web portal (We now have one portal for all locations).
    Click Select File to browse for a file on your computer or device. You can also drag and drop your files onto the page itself
    Web portal Upload page with pick-up branch at top of page and Select File button highlighted.
  4. Adjust the Printing Settings for your files, if desired.
    You can select:
    - Number of copies
    - Black and white or colour
    - 1-sided or 2-sided printing
    - Paper size - letter or legal
    - Layout - portrait or landscape
    - Page range - print all pages or only a selection.
    For multiple files, the print settings will appear separately for each file.
    The cost of all prints will be displayed beneath printing settings for the last file.

  5. Add your User Info.
    You must enter either your library card number or your first and last name in the first box in this section. This information helps to find your printing.
    You may also add an email address or cell phone number to get a print confirmation
    User Info section with Card Number box highlighted.
  6. Click Submit.
    Your file has now been sent to your selected library location

 

Send Print Jobs by Email

You can send your files to be printed by email, instead of using the Web Portal. If sent in this way, the email message itself and any files attached to it will show up as separate files for printing at the library.

This method is a good way to remotely print an email message.

If you only want to print the files attached to an email, you can select only those when you come to pick up your printing. You do not have to print the main email message if you don't want to. 

Sending the Email

  1. Go to your regular email
  2. Open the email you want to print
  3. Attach any files that you want to print
  4. Send the email to one of the email addresses below
  5. You will receive an email confirmation.
    This will display the files to be printed and the Release Code you should use to print the files at the library.

 

There are 2 email addresses - 1 for black and white printing and 1 for colour:

Black and White Printing: bw-barrielibrary@eprintitsaas.com

Color Printing: color-barrielibrary@eprintitsaas.com

Pick Up Your Printing at the Library

It is possible to send printing from a mobile device or a computer outside the library. Wherever it is sent from, it must be printed from a printer at one of our library branches.

Follow the same process below if you printed from one of the library's own computers.

During curbside service library staff will print files sent wirelessly and bring them to the front desk.

Note: Print jobs sent wirelessly should be printed and picked up within 2 days. After 2 days print jobs are automatically deleted.
Check the library website for our opening hours and for any restrictions on entry into the building. If necessary, staff can assist you to retrieve your printing.
